CONTRACT KILLINGS

- SIYABONGA SITHOLE siyabonga.sithole@inl.co.za

THE Alexandra Magistrate's Court heard yesterday that murder-accused businessman Katiso ‘KT’ Molefe was in constant communication with his co-accused and transferred huge sums of money shortly after the murder of DJ Sumbody in November 2022.

Molefe, who was arrested last month by the police’ political killings task team in Gauteng, appeared in court yesterday for a formal bail application. He is facing multiple charges, including murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

His three co-accused, Musa Kekana, Michael Pule Tau and Floyd Mabusela, have opted not to apply for bail. Molefe is charged with the murders of Oupa ‘DJ Sumbody’ Sefoka, his two bodyguards, and Hector ‘DJ Vintos’ Buthelezi.
